Acids
Molecules with a hydrogen attached that can be released in water, giving them acidic properties.
Bases
Substances that contain hydroxide ions (OH-) and have properties such as a bitter taste, turning red litmus paper blue, and feeling slippery.
Dissociation
The process in which ionic compounds separate into their ions when dissolved in water.
Ionization
The process in which a neutral molecule forms ions, such as when acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water.
Strong Acids
Acids that ionize 100% in water, resulting in a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and stronger acidic properties.
Weak Acids
Acids that ionize less than 50% in water, resulting in a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and weaker acidic properties.
Properties of Strong Acids
Conduct electricity more, react more quickly with metals, have a lower pH, and are more corrosive.
Properties of Weak Acids
Conduct electricity less, react more slowly with metals, have a higher pH, and are less corrosive.
Arrhenius
The scientist who proposed the first structure related to acids and bases, suggesting that hydroxide ions (OH-) are responsible for the properties of bases and hydrogen ions (H+) are responsible for the properties of acids.
